[Mailman-Users] Cannot discard pending requests
Mailman v2.1.18 on Debian Jessie. Been running mailman (much older version) for years on an old CentOS box. Recently moved to a new machine as above, and migrated a list - no problems there. The list itself seems to be working just fine - mail flowing as expected. However, I've got a couple of pending moderator requests that simply refuse to go away. I can't Accept them, Reject them, or Discard them. Selecting Discard and clicking Submit All Data, the page simply refreshes itself and the items remain unaffected. I do not see any error message, cannot find any indication in any system log that there is a problem of any sort (it's possible I'm not looking in the right place?) I've run check_perms and there are 10 symlinks that are reported with bad groups (has root, expected list) but those cannot be changed, apparently. How can I fix this?

There was a bug in the FC3 security policy that caused web based list creation to fail, command line worked fine. Have you looked for error messages in /var/log/mailman/error and /var/log/messages (in /var/log/messages you especially want to look for lines with avc) So, I just uninstalled mailman via yum and reinstalled from source and get exactly the same behavior. I am returned to the create list page with no error messages indicated anywhere - not in any of the logs, nor in the browser. Ack, this is really strange. I am certain that SELinux is disabled, but how can I verify that?

So the question remains, why no new list? I suppose I can live with creating lists from the command line as there will not likely be very many lists, but it'd sure be nice if I knew why the web interface failed. Everything else seems to work just fine.

Re: [Mailman-Users] can't make a new list from the GUI
Ok, here's another clue. I was apparently wrong when I said previously that all else was working well. It turns out that I can submit a subscription request to the mailman site list and the administrator gets a notification to visit the admin page to take action. When I attempt to approve the subscription, I am immediately returned to the admin page again with no action having been taken. I also manually subscribed a user and went to the web page to unsubscribe that user. I enter the address of the user to unsubscribe and click the unsub or edit options button. I see the page member options for user [EMAIL PROTECTED] and when I click the Unsubscribe button, I get an error message no address given. I've looked at the page source and can see a hidden input field with [EMAIL PROTECTED] clearly listed. I'm beginning to suspect something with python or cgi, but some things seem to work.

Re: [Mailman-Users] can't make a new list from the GUI
Thanks gents for your continuing help. I think I've solved the problem. Brad gave me pointers to some FAQ items that have changed the behavior. I think part of the problem was related to the apache redirect that I was making to ssl. Then, creating the list showed an error on the screen that says: We encountered a bug ... mailman log. /var/log/mailman/error showed May 25 15:42:27 2005 (5427) command failed: /usr/sbin/postalias /etc/mailman/aliases (status: 1, Operation not permitted) Searching the faq again revealed: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=editfile=faq06.009.htp ls -l /etc/mailman/aliases* showed 660 aliases 620 aliases.db Clearly wrong. Reset them according to the faq, 660. I'm guessing the original problem was due to ssl redirect and the perms problem an artifact of installing the rpm and removing, installing from source and removing, and then reinstalling from rpm. I'll do some additional testing tonight and see what happens. Thanks again!

[Mailman-Users] can't make a new list from the GUI
On my FC3 box w/o SELinux, I just installed and configured the mailman rpm according to the instructions at the mailman website. I can create a list from the command line and can send mail to it and receive mail from it. I can load the web interface and do most of the usual things. However, I cannot create a new list. I've reset the site password assuming that I missentered it somehow, but I get no change in behavior. Any clues?
